Unit: Diversity of living things
Overall objective:
B3: demonstrate an understanding of the diversity of living organisms in terms of the principles of taxonomy and phylogeny.
Specific expectations:
B3.5 explain why biodiversity is important to maintaining viable ecosystems (e.g., biodiversity helps increase resilience to stress and resistance to disease or invading species)
Learning Intention:
That there is life all around us, and each of the organisms are classified into the tree of life through taxonomy
Success Criteria:
To leave the room able to name at least one animal in our local environment and think of how they interact with it and which animals it might also interact with, the world is a big place
